The NFL calendar is on to Week 5, with the San Francisco 49ers face the Los Angeles Rams for the Thursday Night Football kickoff to the week. Both teams enter the game with a 3-1 record, tied for the lead at the top of the NFC West. Tonight’s game also marks the second-straight NFC West rivalry game on Thursday night, following last week’s meeting between the Seattle Seahawks and Arizona Cardinals.
The NFC West is tight early this year, with the Rams, 49ers, and Seahawks all holding identical 3-1 records while the Cardinals are just a game back at 2-2. Could tonight’s game spark a run from either the 49ers or the Rams?
